BULLYING AND CYBERBULLYING: FEATURES AND WAYS OF PREVENTING

 

The article is devoted to the topics of bullying and cyberbullying. The results of the questionnaire have been analyzed to further prevent and improve ways of preventing these phenomena. The article gives examples of special diagnostic techniques. Socio-psychological description of the environment in an educational institution can be made using these techniques.

The purpose of the article is to highlight the problem of bullying and cyberbullying.

According to the results of a questionnaire among pupils and students the article presents the methods which may improve the internal environment in educational institution. It`s proposed to criminalize the use of violence against participants of the educational process. Such acts consist of mental, physical, economic, sexual abuse, including the use of electronic means of communication which committed against a minor or by such a person against other participants of the educational process. These acts of violence lead to the consequences in accordance with Articles 121, 122 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

One of the ways to solve this problem is to develop a plan of action which may prevent acts of bullying and cyberbullying in educational institutions. The authors concluded that bullying and cyberbullying have been spreading widely and have a negative influence on the future of the individual. Due to the growing use of the Internet, online bullying is becoming more and more widespread. While cyberbullying mainly causes moral harm, bullying is usually about physical intimidation and beatings.

The article states that parents and teachers should be an example of tolerant behavior, organize various events to bring pupils and teachers closer together. It is necessary to work with a psychologist, involve children in different sections and urge them to do creative work. In this way, respect and benevolence will be promoted. Parents and others, in turn, must pay attention to all forms of violence and bullying against children.

Keywords: bullying, cyberbullying, violence, aggressive behavior, Internet network.
